Grief and life transitions are challenging parts of our lives.

Empathetic and evidence-based clinical practice is essential to obtaining peace. We will work together to understand and shape responses to your current experiences.

Welcome! My name is Carolina and I’m a therapist at Three Oaks Behavioral Health & Wellness. I’m so proud of you for taking the first step. I’m committed to supporting you on your journey, whatever that may look like for you. I’m deeply passionate about working with clients looking to process their trauma and those navigating identity issues. As a bicultural Latina, I know firsthand the challenge of breaking generational cycles and establishing your own unique path. I also enjoy working with young adults experiencing LGBT+ related issues, relationship and family conflict, life transitions, anxiety, and major life stressors.

Hello. My name is Sharon Bradley. I graduated from North Carolina State University in 2016 with a Masters Degree in Social Work, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and mental health therapist. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, to include Employee Assistance Programs, inpatient psychiatric unit, community homebased mental health, and the VA. My approach to treatment, is that I only use evidenced based psychotherapies (EBP) in my practice, as EBPs are designed to be goal oriented, time limited, structured and with evidence to support their effectiveness in reducing the impact of the problem area.

For generations, mental health has been associated with fear and misunderstanding. I am dedicated to pushing through those barriers, by providing you a safe, non-judgmental space for processing life experiences. Utilizing a collaborative and strength-based approach, we will work together to build your toolbox of healthy, and individualized strategies that will empower you to be your very best self. You have already taken the most difficult step by being courageous enough to seek help. Let’s get started; let’s talk about it.

As a health psychologist, I provide support to the whole person, not one condition, and consider the biological, psychological, and social factors that may enhance or get in the way of your satisfaction in life. I seek to foster a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment so that we can work together to create and implement a plan that leads to fulfillment.

Often children ask for help is ways we do not understand. Yelling, hitting, no communication, self-harm, change in social habits. Through soothing and hands-on sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's figure out the angry and what we can do instead of yelling. Why the self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Anxiety does not need to control you. Parents, let's find something different to do because at the end of the day, I know you want happiness and love. Come as you are. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician is key in order for growth to happen. Once mutual respect and trust are established, I work toward gaining a deeper understanding of the client, their needs, and what obstacles they’ve found themselves faced with. I offer a space of non-judgment, empathy, and support in which clients can feel safe to open up and share their authentic selves. Upon meeting, I'll work with the client to create a treatment plan and goals, knowing that there is no one-size-fits-all plan. I most commonly work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and family issues.

I have a heart for serving adults, adolescents, couples and families dealing with significant life issues such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or pain, issues stemming from past trauma, parenting children with special needs, or managing chronic mental health conditions such as ADHD, anxiety and depression. I believe that it is helpful when a therapist has a personal understanding of the areas in which they specialize. I have personal experience with all of these circumstances, allowing me a level of empathy and insight that may not be possible otherwise.

The past 20 years of partnering with a wide range of people through times of struggle has taught me we often underestimate our own resilience, or our resilience as a couple. It leads to worry, anger, depression, suspicion, guilt, frustration, loneliness, resentment, shame, panic... all the emotions we try so hard to avoid. Consider a teammate for this part of the journey to help you take greater control of your own growth. A partner who can listen intently, offer perspective, brainstorm with you, help you develop new insights and skills, and support you in making changes to create a life - or relationship - you love.

I love the helping process, and I am here to learn about you – your wisdom, your creativity, and the ways that you have coped with challenges in the past. During our time together, we will explore the experiences you have had in an attempt to bring awareness to things that are working well and things that you would like to change. Maybe you have struggled with self-esteem and fear being judged by others. Perhaps you’re dealing with changes in your life, taking on a new career, entering a new relationship, or navigating parenthood – transitions that all can bring both joy and stress.

Hello! I'm Alixandra, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with an M.A. from Wake Forest University ('23). My passion lies in providing compassionate support to teens and adults under 45 facing challenges including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality BPD, and life adjustments. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard and supported as they navigate their unique journeys toward balance and self-empowerment. I tailor my approach to meet each client where they are, offering practical skills and genuine empathy. My goal is to empower others to embrace their authentic selves.

Reaching out to seek therapy says something positive about you! It reflects that you recognize the need to ask for help, which is always the first step and sometimes, the hardest step. It also means you are coming into therapy with an open mindset and are willing to do the work necessary to achieve your goals. I am passionate about developing a healthy, trusting relationship with my clients, so we can begin to work on whatever issues you are facing. I specialize in treating issues related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, life transitions, caregiving, stress management and women's issues.

I believe that there is hope no matter your struggle. Whether you are processing grief or navigating relational conflict, looking at your struggles through a systematic lens allows for a fuller and deeper healing for every individual and ultimately every relationship. My main areas of focus are pre-martial, martial issues, communication, conflict resolution, anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, postpartum depression/anxiety, pregnancy loss, life transitions, and grief. I believe that when we work to be healthier individuals we create healthier marriages, families, and communities!

Is it hard just to make it through each day? Like everything is a struggle, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep pretending it’s all fine? You don’t have the lust for life that you used to, and everything feels a bit “blah”. You can't talk about it with your family or friends without worrying them or being dismissed. You're noticing these things are negatively impacting your life, relationships, or performance at work. You feel unhappy, angry, or disconnected to people in your life and the world around you. Maybe you know what changes you want to see, but you don't even know where to start. It all feels so daunting.

My counseling experience includes work with couples, individuals, and families experiencing relationship difficulties, conflict, and communication issues. My areas of counseling specialization include marital / relational issues, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, infidelity, trauma, past hurts, and life transitions. In addition to my masters degree in social work, and my counseling license, I also have a master of divinity degree and 25+ years as a pastor.

Living with chronic illness (interstitial cystitis) and pain, I’m intimately aware of the toll it takes on the body, mind, and spirit— how it’s woven into the fabric of all aspects of living, how it has a tendency to keep us tethered to fear, hopelessness, and isolation. I believe in validating the reality of what is chronic and pervasive. I also believe it is possible to soften the grasp these diagnoses have on our lives. As a woman, I’m passionate about supporting those with conditions that are far too often invalidated and overlooked, such as IC, ENDO, & PCOS. Building community offers something solid to be tethered to.

I am a fully licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with new and expecting mothers. As a new mother myself, I understand and appreciate both the joys and challenges of motherhood. I also understand that pregnancy and motherhood can often be accompanied by increases in anxiety, depression, and general life stress. I believe that a compassionate therapeutic approach is the key to helping clients work through the unexpected difficulties that can accompany pregnancy and motherhood. In addition to my work with new and expecting moms, I also enjoy working with families, children, and adolescents.
